North Korea Invites The Pirate Bay, Offers Virtual Asylum

“We can reveal that we have been invited by the leader of the Republic of Korea, to fight our battles from their network,” revealed PirateBay.

The Pirate parties from Norway and Catalunya offered their routing services to Pirate Bay but they also were threatened with law suits, so in the end, after a short shut down yesterday, Pirate Bay returned online, routed through North Korea, one of the last communist dictatorships in the world.

An insider explained the situation to TorrentFreak, “We’ve been in talks with them for about two weeks, since they opened access for foreigners to use 3G in the country,TPB has been invited just like Eric Schmidt and Dennis Rodman. We’ve declined up until now.”

TPB is not going to visit North Korea, but it will use their 3G network for connecting their website to the rest of the world. This is pretty ironic, a dictatorial country offering freedom of information to a western company. The North Korean infrastructure is used for hiding TPB’s real location, as their servers are actually located somewhere else in the world.
